He kept a store and a saw-mill, and was always sure to have the best of the bargain on his side, by which he had gained an ample fortune, and some did not hesitate to call him the biggest rascal in the world. He was very conceited withal, and used to brag of his business capacity whenever any one was near to listen. One rainy day, as quite a number were seated round the stove, he began, as usual, to tell of his great bargains, and at last wound up with the expression? "Nobody has ever_ cheated me, nor they can't neither." "Judge," said an old man of the company, "I've cheated you more than you ever did me." "How so?" said the Judge. "TP Ml :? frt loir "II you 11 promise you n?u u gv w i?n about it, nor do anything, I'll tell you, or else I won't; you are too much of a law character for me." "Let's hear," cried half a dozen voices at once. "I'll promise," said the judge, "and treat in the bargain if you have." "Well, do you remember the wagon you robbed me of?" "I never robbed you of a wagon ; I only got the best of the bargain," said the judge. "Well, I made up my mind to have it back, and?" "You never did," interrupted the cute judge. . ''Yes I did, and interest, too." "How so?" thundered the now enraged judge. "Well, you see, judge, 1 sold you one day a very nice pine log, and bargained with you for a lot more. Well, that log I stole off your pile down by the mill the night before, and the next day I sold it to you. The next night I drew it back home and sold it to you the next day; and so I kept on till you had bought your own log of me twenty-seven times." "That's a lie !" exclaimed the infuriated judge, running to his book r.cd examining his log account; "you never so!d me twenty-seven logs of the same measurement." "I know it," said the vender in logs; "by drawing it back and forth the end wore off, and as it wore I kept cutting the end off, until it was only ten feet long?just fourteen feet shorter than it was the first? time I brought it?and when it got so short I drew it home and worked it up into shingles, and the next week you bought the shingles, and I concluded I had got the worth of my wagon back, and stowed away in my pocket-book," The exclamation of the judge was drowned in the shout of the bystanders, and the log-drawer found the door without the promised treat. A TEMPERANCE STORY WITH A POINT, Judge Bay, the Temperance lecturer, ir one of his efforts, got off the following hare hit at "moderate drinkers:" "All those who in youth acquire a habii of drinking whiskey, at forty years of age will be total abstainers or drunkards. Isfc one can use whiskey for years with moderation. If there is a person in the audience lififni-o mn tt-Viacq Dvncrmnna Hici.nt.pa thlB let him make it known. I will account for it, or acknowledge that I am mistaken." A tall, large man arose, and folding his arms across his breast, said, "I offer myself as one whose own expe rience contradicts your statements." "Are you a moderate drinker?" asked the Judge. "I am." "How long have you drank in moderation r "Forty years." "And were never intoxicated?" "Never " "Well,", remarked the Judge, scanning his subject closely from head to foot, "yours is a singular case; yet I think it easily accounted for. I am reminded by it of a little story. A colored man with a loaf of bread and a bottle of whiskey sat down to dine on the bank of a clear stream. In breaking the. bread he dropped some ol the crumbs into the water. These were eagerly seized and eaten by the fish. That circumstance suggested to the darkey the idea of dipping the bread into the whiskey and feeding it to them. He tried it. It worked well Some of the fish ate it, became drunk, and floated helpless on the surface. In this way he easily caught a large number. But in the stream was a large fish, very unlike the rest. It partook freely of the bread and whiskey with no perceptible effect. He resolved to have it at all hazards, that he might learn its name and nature. He procured a net, and after much effort caught it, carried it to a colored npicrhhnr ami nslrprl his nnininn in f.hp mat. ter. The other surveyed the wonder for a moment, and then said: "Sambo, I understands dis case. Dis fish is a muilet-head ; it an't gotrany brain! In other words," added the Judge, "alcohol affects only the brains, and, of course, those having none may drink without injury." The storm of laughter, which followed, drove the "moderate drinker" suddenly from the house. Excuse Bad Writing.?"Massa," said the negro Steward of a Marble-head Captain, as they fell in with a homeward bound vessel, "I wish you'd write a few lines for me to send to the old woman, cos I can't write." "Certainly," said the good-natured skipper, taking his writing materials; "now what shall I say ?" Pompey told the story which he wished his wife to know, which his amanuensis faithfully recorded. "Is that all, Pomp?" asked the Captain, preparing to seal the letter. "Yes, Massa," replied he, showing his ivory, "tank you; but 'fore you close him up, jist say 'please 'scuse bad writing and spelling,' will ye ?" The Captain appended the postscript as desired. jggy* A German sued his neighbor for killing his dog. The justice asked the defendant if he killed the dog. "Pe sure I kilt him, but let him prove it," was the dogged reply. This being satisfactory the plaintifl was asked?with a view of assessing damages?how much the dog was worth. "The dog was worth nothing, but since he was so mean as to kill him, he shall pay the full value of him." This picture will apply to a good many law suits. .|p0f*Hattt0tt!S JMiclcs. A CJLEBGYMAN'S JOKE. I was spending the night in a hotel at Freeport, Illinois. After breakfast I went into the sitting-room, where I met a pleasant, chatty, good-humored traveler, who, like myself, was waiting for the morning train from Galena. We conversed freely and pleasantly on different tonics, until seeing two young ladies meet ana kiss each other in the street, the conversation turned on kissing, just at the time the train was approaching. "Come," said he, taking up his carpetbag, "since we are on so sweet a subject, let us have a practical application. I'll make a proposition to you. "I'll agree to kisB the most beautiful lady in the cars from Galena, you being the judge, if you will kiss the next prettiest, I being the judge." This proposition staggered me a little, and I could hardly tell whether he was in earnest or in fun; but as he would be as deeply in as I could be, I agreed, provided *? ? ??U ^A IviafiiviM mT7 ne WUU1U IIU IHC UIUl niMiut, tuvugu 1UJ heart failed me somewhat, as I saw his black 1 eyes fairly dance with daring. "Yes," said he, "I'll try it first. You take the back car and go in from the front end, where you can see the faces of the ladies, and yon stand by the one you think the handsomest, and I'll come in from behind and kiss her." I had hardly stepped inside the cars, when I saw at the first glance, one of the , loveliest looking women my eyes ever fell on. A beautiful blond, with auburn hair, and a bright sunny face, full of love and sweetness, and radiant and glowing as the morning. Any further search was totally , unnecessary. I immediately took my stand in the aisle by her side. She was looking out of the window earnestly, as if expect, ihg some one. The back door of the car , opened, and in stepped my hotel friend. 1 , pointed my finger to her slyly, never dreaming that he would dare to carry out his pledge, and you may imagine my horroi and amazement, when he stepped up quickly behind her, and stooping over, kissed hei ! with a relish that "made my mouth water.' I expected, of course, a shriek of terror. 1 and then a row generally, and a knockr down; but astonishment succeeded astonishment, when I saw her return the kiss wit! ' compound interest. Quick as a flash he turned to me anc said: ">T _? X >, "ixow it is your luru, puiuuug iu ? urn eou8, ugly, wrinkled old woman who sat ir i the seat behind. "Oh, you must excuse me ! you must ex' cuse me! you must!" I exclaimed. "I'nr sold this time. I give up. Do tell m< whom you have been kissing ! "Well," said he, "you are a man of sc ' much taste, and such quick perception, IT let you off." And we all burst into t hearty peal of laughter, as he saj? "Thai ' is my wife. I have been waiting for her, 1 I knew that it was a safe proposition." ^ He told the story to his wife, who lookec tenfold sweeter as she heard it. [ Before we reached Chicago, we exchan | ged cards, and I discovered that my genia companion was a popular Episcopaliar , preacher of Chicago, whose name I had frequently heard. Whenever I go to Chicago, 1 I always go to hear him, and a heartier, more natural and eloquent preacher, if hard to find. He was 'then a young man; he is now well known as one of the ablest divines of the Episcopalian denomination in the West. I The Gulf Stream.?The influence oi the Gulf stream upon the weather along the coast is a subject of much interest. The warm, moist breezes from the southeast blow directly from the stream, but the low lands of the shore are so nearly alike in temperature that little condensation takes place. "When the wind becomes a gale, the 1 masses of vapor are driven far inland, where, ; coming in contact with the cold air of the ' mountains, they descend in torrents of rain, ' producing destructive floods. Hence, per| sons traveling westwardly meet the tempest. ' The southeast storm- of 1836, during which , the fearful land slide in the White mountains occurred, first spent its fury among the granite hills of New Hampshire, and ' then took its course to the sea. The great floods on the Connecticut river, in January, 1839, took their rise in the Green mountains of Vermont. In 1840 and 1857 the same phenomena were observed. As affecting the ocean, the Gulf stream has long I Kaon rtKin/?t nf fiarofnl ornminntinn. Tn UWI I.UV VKJW. V4 v,~. ? 1770, the increase of two weeks in the length of the passage from Falmouth to N. York over the voyage from London to Newport was brought to Dr. Franklin's notice. The American philosopher discovered that the Rhode Island captains were acquainted with the peculiarities of the stream, while the English captains were too wise to be counseled by simple fishermen. Franklin then applied the thermometer and ascertained the warmth of the current. Since that important discovery, the influence of the ocean streams upon navigation has been carefully studied and mapped. The effects of the Gulf stream upon the land have not been closely observed; but if proper attention is paid to the phenomena, discoveries equally important will be made. ? 1 A Chinese Siiave.? A fellow who has been shaved in China says that the barber first stropped the razor on his leg, and then did the shaving without any lather. The ; customer remonstrated, but was told that lather was entirely useless, and had a tendency to make the hair stiff and tough, and was therefore never used by persons who had any knowledge of the face and its appendages. After the beard had been taken i off?and it was done in a very short time? the barber took a long, sharp, needle-shaped snoon. and he?an to exnlore his customer's "I 7 " "O 1 1*1 ears. He brought up from numerous little i crevices bits of -wax and dirt that had been i accumulated since his childhood. The bar1 ber suddenly twisted his subject's neck to one side in such a manner that ic cracked i as if the vertebrae had been dislocated. "Hold on!" shouted the party, alarmed for the safety of his neck. "All right," replied thetonsor, "me no hurt you;" and he continued to jerk and twist the neck until it was limber as an old woman's dish rag. He then fell to beating the back, breast, ' arms, and sides with his fi6ts, and pummelled the muscles until they fairly glowed with the beating they had received. He then dashed a bucket of water over his man, dried the skin with towels, and declared that his work was done. Price two cents. gat the ?lam* <?Ma. CHILDREN'S SAYINGS. A recent number of Hours at Home contains a paper on "Children and their Sayings," which abounds in anecdotes. We select the following: "A friend of mine has two bright little boys?Freddy, between three and four years old, and Willie, about five. A chronicle of their doings and sayings would fill a volume, but two specimens must suffice: "Both were very fond of milk, and a mug of it always completed their supper. But, while in the country last summer, it so chanced that they one day saw the girl milking. " 'There, Willie,' said Freddy, 'you see that, do you ? I don't want any more milk after the cow's had itand he withdrew very much disgusted. "That evening, when their mugs of milk were placed on the table, both stood untouched. A reason of this phenomenon being asked, Freddy simply declared that he didn't want any milk after the cow had had it, but further refused to explain. Willie, however told of the discovery of the morning. "The mother then explained to them that the milk did not come to. them second hand; that the cow ate grass, which was changed into milk by a wonderful chemical process, akin to that which produced everything in nature. In the light of this explanation, Willie was satisfied ; but Freddy still turned up his nose at milk, sticking to 1 the original proposition. 1 "After supper, Willie, who, on these impartant occasions, always acted as expound' er, took his brother aside into a corner. 1 " 'It's all right, Freddy,' be- said, 'and you can just go on drinking your milk a1 gain. The cow eats grass, and that's what ! makes it. Now, if the cow didn't eat the grass, you'd have to, you see. That's what the cow's for.' "Freddy resumed his evening draughts. To his mind, the only alternative was eat1 ing grass, and from that he shrank. "Mamma, mamma,' cried a little boy, when the sun had set gorgeously red, one ' Christmas eve, 'see how hot heaven is over there. Santa Claus is baking, I guess.' " ? "In manner somewhat like, did one of these natural philosophers account for an other phenomenon. Hearing a man dump ' coal in the bin one day, with a terrible rumbling, he shouted: I "0, mother ! now I know what makes thunder; it is Grod putting coal on.' "Children are great realists, interpreting { things in the most literal sense. To the infantile mind, the beautiful metaphor of the Lord walking in the garden in the cool of { the day, conveys the idea of a tangible k presence. li 'I know,' said a little boy, to whom the passage was read; 'just as papa does, with | his hands behind him, and an old coat I ?>? on. t t , , t ANECDOTES OF WEBSTER'S BOYHOOD. When Daniel Webster was a little fellow at school, the master one Saturday held up I a new jack-knife, and told the scholars that the boy who would commit to memory the greatest number of verses from the Bible, | and recite them on Monday morning, should have that knife. Many of the boys did well, but when it came Daniel's turn he recited sixty or seventy verses, and said that ' he had several chapters more. The master 1 gave it up. Daniel got the knife. When about seven years of age his fath[ er kept a "Yankee tavern," andyoung Daniel used to entertain the guests by reading to them some of the psalms of David. Even the rough teamsters, when they pulled up P their horses before the house, would say, p "Come, let's go in and hear a psalm from I Dan Webster!" His voice at that time . was deep, rich and musical. But as a ! school-boy he was no elocutionist, or rather his sensitiveness was such that he could not practice. His first effort at fourteen was a i failure,.for the moment he began he was embarrassed, and burst into tears. He | tried it many times, preparing himself carefully, but when his name was called, and he | saw all eyes turned upon him, he could not rise. So much for this great orator. Let not timid boys be discouraged. When he entered school he was behind ? the other boys in his class; all was new I and strange, and he was much depressed. "New boys," often feel the same difficulties. But his teacher encouraged him gently, urged him to think of nothing but his books and soon all would come outright. Before long he was promoted, and at the close of , the second quarter he was thus addressed! 1 "Get your cap and books !" He did this with some surprise, and the tutor continued, "Now report yourself to the teacher of the first class, and you, young gentlemen, will take an affectionate leave of your classmate, for you will never see him again." S. S. Advocate. ? CHILDREN AND MOTHERS. A correspondent of-the Congregationalist makes some valuable suggestions in regard to the training of children. Multi, tudes of parents fail to give this subject the attention it deserves; and in our judgment the blame, when children grow up disobedient and wayward, is chargeable to parents far more generally than many suppose : "Mothers generally teach their children by precept that it is wrong to tell lies. Yet in nine oases out of ton. let a ehild he caught ... w ' - 7 O in an untruth in the presence of company, and the mother will excuse it. 'My child forgot.' 'My little daughter made a mistake.' We heard one mother say of her 1 daughter, in her presence, 'Since she had the measles, she forgets?so that she often misrepresents without meaning to.' And another mother excusing her son for telling a lie that he might stay out of school, said: 'Johnny, you must be careful; when you 1 want a thing so and so, you somehow make ' yourself think it is so.' In each case the child told a bare falsehood, and probably ' with a guilty motive. One badly managed 1 case of discipline is a bad precedent, but what disorders grow out of continual mismanagement. A spasmodic effort once a month to exact strict obedience amounts to very little good. The relation between parents and their children cannot be harmonious and rebellious by turns, justice and love ruling one week, impatience and harshness the next. flgp* If you love others they will love you. If you speak kindly to them they will speak kindly to you. Love is repaid with love, and hatred with hatred. Would you hear a sweet and pleasant echo, speak sweetly and pleasantly yourself. He who can plant courage in the human soul is the best physician. ?Iie ^aqtiiter.
